#FiveThingsSF {February 27, 2015}

It’s Friday, people! Unfortunately for most snow day hopeful’s, pretty much all of the anticipated 7-10 inches is no more {only ended up getting about 2 Wednesday night into Thursday morning}. No matter…time to talk/think about what your Five Things for the week are!

The Smellycat Coffeehouse in NODA has quickly become my go-to coffee shops in Charlotte. Partly because of location, but also because of how awesome it is. My favorite bev is easily their Dirty Chai, made instead with almond milk. If you’re ever in the area, I suggest giving it a try! Also, don’t be afraid to ask the coffee shop that you’re visiting for their dairy-free alternatives. They should be up with the times at this point!

This will always and forever be my favorite lipstick of all time. It’s literally perfect. The application is easy, it stays all day {no matter how much you eat or drink}, and you’ll get many a compliment while it’s worn. Trust me, I know.

I recently wore my “Beso Red #10” while in Huntington and quickly remembered why I love it so much.

I’ll be honest, I’m a huge make-up girl in the sense that I appreciate quality in my products over quantity. For my day to day, the main reason why I wear any make up at all is to cover up my stupid pre-teen skin and to look like I’m awake. {Like we’ve covered…body of 25 year old, skin of a 13 year old}. However, I do love a good excuse to get all glammed up and go do fun things. My favorite go-to “fun” makeup? Lipstick.

My favorite lipstick line used to be anything MAC, but this Stila definitely takes the cake. The Stay All Day line doesn’t have as many color options as MAC, but for what I try to go for, I prefer the Stila. Expect a full write up soon.
House of Cards

Need I say more? House of Cards is here, people!!! Hide yo kids, hide yo wife. I watched the most recent season finale last night just as refresher, and I am so excited this is back! If you’re worried you’re going to ruin your life and binge watch it all over the weekend then feel empty and depressed until the next season comes out {because let’s be honest, Netflix releasing something like this all at once totally feeds into our glutonous “gimmie, gimmie, gimmie” culture, and we all buy into it}, do what I do. Exhibit an ounce of self control, stay off spoiler alert blogs, and limit yourself to one to two episodes a day. I have to do this with Orange Is The New Black. As long as YOU can control YOURSELF, it’s a much healthier way to indulge in this quite tantalizing masterpiece.

I’ve had this baby for awhile but I have just recently been using it again and remembered why I love it. I’m all about reusable bags when grocery shopping, so why not take it to other aspects of life? This is a Scout reusable wine tote. So, when you’re going to a friend’s/picnic/whatever, just slip your bottle of wine into this sturdy, fashionable tote and you’re good to go!

I last used this tote when I went over to my friend, Emily’s, for Valentine’s Dinner. It’s cute and cheap. This rings in at only $7.50, and there are a variety of patterns and colors to choose from. They even have insulated bags, as well as bags that are built to hold more than one bottle!

You would never know that there’s a bottle of wine in here, would you? Though, if I’m the one carrying it, that’s safe to assume…

Okay now your turn, list your Five Things for the week by commenting below or using the hashtag #FiveThingsSF on any social media platform!

Skinny Fingers

Welcome, I'm so happy you're here! I'm Christine, a blogger who's recently moved back to NC, now living in Charlotte. I love learning about everything life has to offer. Do I take myself seriously? Rarely. Do I take living a full, healthy, and balanced life seriously? Always. It's all about the journey. So tell me, what are your "Skinny Fingers"?
